    I'm an adult but I really enjoyed your vid! One note: with years oversplit might worsen or be lost after any sort of inactive period (it took like 2 yrs for me after heavy injury) but I've discovered that the reason I still oversplit on air (and not on ground unless I force myself) is cause of the momentum created by my really strong inner thighs, abs and shoulders! I credit wall sits, crunches and my own addiction to swimming every summer for keeping my lovely high split jumps! And now your video motivated me to work on the flexibility aspect again, thank you

      Brigette Lawrence Both of my legs don't go really far (I'm not really strong), but we don't do Grand Jeté Developpé/Saut de Chat but a normal Grand Jeté, so with a straight front leg. I don't know whether that makes a difference. Any tips on how to improve my leaps?

    • @MarijeK
      @MarijeK Před 7 lety +12

      Solar Wind I think a normal grand jeté is a lot harder than the développé version. I always do the normal one first with my students, because of that. Think of the jump as two grand battements put together. And all the tips in this video about attack, speed, and momentum help a lot! Also, the oversplit tip is probably a good one, stretching in and beyond the shape you want to make.
